This is a step too far for Tucker…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Fox News star Tucker Carlson says that if Donald Trump taps Nikki Haley as his running mate not only will he not vote for the ticket but he will openly advocate against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would not only not vote for that ticket, I would advocate against it as strongly as I could,\u201d Carlson said<\/a> this week during an interview with conservative media personality Tim Pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThat\u2019s just poison,\u201d Carlson added, blasting Haley as \u201cnot left, but \u2026 neoliberal in the darkest, most \u2026 nihilistic way\u201d and saying she \u201chas no real popular support.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Carlson called Haley a \u201ccreature of the oligarchs\u201d and said her joining Trump\u2019s campaign \u201cwould be reason to oppose the ticket.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carlson recently brushed aside suggestions that he could be a potential vice presidential pick for Trump after an Axios report indicated Melania Trump is advocating for Trump to tap Carlson for the role.
